Move On

"Hello everyone"

Aunt Lowell's dreadful voice said behind me and I moved aside, cringing so hard. "The beast is here"

I thought glaring at mom

  "Hi Aunt Lowell"

Trucy said. That's his first time speaking since I arrived.

  "Hi dear"

She responded and blew kisses to him then turned to mom, "big sister, is she giving you trouble again?"

I could not stop noticing how she dressed, she was wearing this military outfit which made her look rigid and mean.

"You can ask that again"

Mom said and hugged her,"please we will take on the phone. I want you both to leave now"

  It was like she was chasing me out of the house, literally, that's what she was doing.

  "Alright, I will keep all that you said in mind. Be rest assured that when she will come home again, you will be receiving the baby girl you gave birth to, not some sort of tomboy who likes girls"

She assured mom and I rolled my eyes.

  It was obvious I wasn't going to do anything about it so I turned and walked out of the house without looking back.

  "She will be alright. She is just 18"

I heard Aunt Lowell say.

  "I trust you she will."

I rolled my eyes and got into the car, not wanting to hear anymore of what they were saying.

  All my luggages was put into the booth and I sighed again, I have been doing that for a while now. 

  I know that leaving here today, my life will never remain the same.

  Mom and Trucy came to stand by the side of the car where I was seated.

"Dear, I am sorry but I have to do this. Hopefully in the long run, you will understand why I have to do it. I love you very much"

I said nothing as I looked away. I heard her sighing.

  "Bye little sister"

Trucy said and I found myself nodding to it. I might be mad at mom but not him.

  "Bye"

I muttered under my breath, trying hard to force my tears inside but one or two dropped.

  Aunt Lowell got inside after kissing mom and smiled at me,"Tasha fasten your seat belt"

She said emotionlessly and I nodded, not wanting to disobey her because if I do, sorry will be my middle name.

  She maneuvered the car and drove off, leaving the dust of my whole life behind. The worst thing mom has ever done to me is doing this to me. I might have offended her by my actions but it doesn't warrant her sending me away. Will it make me better or will it bring out the worst in me? I doubt if I will ever be better in life.

  A FEW HOURS LATER…

Jenny's point of view… 

   I drove through the driveway and parked. I was home sweet home which I am not sure if it's going to be sweet again if mom hears my confession.

  A text came into my phone from an unknown number. I opened the text folder and a picture appeared with a note under it. A picture of Zain and a lady having a few drinks.

  The note read" How heartbreaking will it be for you to realize that Zain replaced you just a few hours after you broke up with him. Do you think he loves you enough to do this? One thing you don't know my darling is, men will always be men. They will always get the lady they want with you or without you in the picture. You are replaceable my dear, don't you ever think that you are not. Just watch how Zain is cruising, instead of nursing the pain of heartbreak. My only advice for you is, move on"

   No one needs to tell me that this text is from Harrison.

I closed the text folder and sighed resting my head on the steering. I have a big problem and that's telling mom what she needs to know. 

  The photo did not make me feel better but I was glad that Zain was not shattered for my sake. If replacing me will make him forget me, it's worth it. I will be very glad to know that he moved on from me.

  I picked up my phone and texted Miss Celine to bring the twins over to the house. 

  And after that, I took my hand bag and stepped out of the car, locking the doors. It was just six days I left so everything is expected to be like I left it.

  I walked towards the house with a pounding heart, not knowing what reaction to expect from mom when she finally know the truth.
